Conference Call for Papers

Asiacrypt 2020, the 26th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, will take place in Daejeon Convention Center, Daejeon, Korea on December 6-10, 2020. The conference is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).

Submissions must be at most 30 pages excluding any auxiliary supporting material, and using the Springer LNCS format (in particular, do not modify the LNCS default font sizes or margins). Details on the Springer LNCS format can be obtained here. It is strongly encouraged that submissions are processed in LaTeX. All submissions must have page numbers, e.g., using LaTeX command \\pagestyle{plain}.

All submissions will be blind-refereed and thus must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references (however, submissions may already be uploaded to eprint or arxiv). Submissions should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords, followed by an introduction, a main body, an appendix (if any), and references, within 30 pages. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level understandable for a non-expert reader. Authors are advised to write their papers clearly and carefully, to provide good motivation for their work, and to give a high-level overview of the arguments and techniques used to obtain the main results. Papers are likely to be rejected if the results are unable to be verified by the PC within the short review timeframe.

Optionally, if an author desires, a clearly-marked Supplementary Material can be appended to the submission. The Supplementary Material has no prescribed form or page limit and might be used, for instance, to provide background definitions, program code, additional experimental data, etc. The IACR encourages authors to include in their Supplementary Material responses to reviews from previous IACR events. Alternatively, the auxiliary supporting material can be submitted as a separate file from the submission. The reviewers are not required to read the auxiliary supporting material and submissions should be intelligible without it. The final published version of an accepted paper is expected to closely match the submitted 30 pages.
